I despise Donald Trump as much as the next guy. Probably more. Which is why I spend an inordinate amount of time on YouTube watching Brian Tyler Cohen, David Pakman, Luke Beasley, Ben Meisalas, Jessiah Eberlan and other anti-Trump people who post videos that expose Trump for the ignoramus that he is.

But these people have been beating a dead horse for a long time, and each video is pretty much the same as the one before it. These people are preaching to the choir, and while it may be wise to keep an eye on the man with an incredibly fragile ego, these videos have become increasingly pointless. Worse, they rarely make good on the promises made by the headlines applied to their videos.

For example, these videos usually promise a "bombshell" that seldom is no more explosive than a burp. These videos feature Trump saying something stupid at one of his rallies, or offering an incoherent non-answer to a simple question. Then the host explains why Trump's words have guaranteed a loss in the November election.

BUT IT SEEMS to me the people who support Trump don't care if he makes sense or that he doesn't know the difference between Georgia, the state, and Georgia, the country, and sometimes doesn't know what state he's in. Catching Trump in one of his all-too-frequent brain farts doesn't constitute a "bombshell." If it did, Trump's head would have exploded many months ago.

Which gets me to another word that appears far too often in video headlines — implode. According to these videos, Trump implodes at least once a day, but when you watch these videos, more times than not, they're simply more examples of Trump being Trump, getting lost in his lies as he rambles far too long, though he claims he is demonstrating a unique speech technique he calls "the weave."

While it's clear the man has such a short attention span that he cannot complete a thought, he wants us to believe he has mastered this make-believe technique and has received compliments from make-believe English professors who marvel at Trump's speaking ability.

PAKMAN, Beasley, Meisalas, et all, often promise we'll see Trump being humiliated or humiliating himself, but it never happens because Trump is incapable of humiliation. If he had any self-awareness, he would step aside and admit he isn't qualified to be president. He might also apologize for how he proved it during the four years he commuted to the White House from Mar-a-Largo.

He also would have apologized for his remarks about Haitian refugees in Springfield, Ohio. Instead, he has repeated the lie over and over, though not nearly as many times as he repeated the lie that he actually won the 2024 election.

That's Trump's strategy. Never admit you are wrong and never admit defeat. God only knows how he'll react when he loses the 2024 election.

STILL, I give credit to the YouTube watchdogs because they perform a service that was abandoned by much of the media, particularly among newspapers where efforts to remain objective have tilted their coverage in favor of Trump, because he is treated like he's a legitimate candidate when it should be pointed out that he's a lunatic. He will rant and rave at every rally, but reporters will only report a tiny fraction of what the man said, implying he actually has more than a concept of a plan on anything, such as the health plan he has been promising since 2016, but has been unable to deliver even after his four awful years as president.

Like most people who still read newspapers, I seldom read a print version. I look at their websites. A big problem with each website home page — the electronic version of Page One —is they plug stories that would never be displayed on the cover of a real newspaper. This gives readers a distorted version of each story's importance. A story about Paris Hilton sharing a video of her son is given the same prominence as a story about the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict.

NEWSPAPER websites mix advertisements with real news, though many of the "real" stories are planted by celebrity agents, such as the item about Paris Hilton.

These websites must appeal mostly to people who love celebrity gossip that in a more sensible time would be confined to one sentence in a Walter Winchell column on Page 32 where it would be buried between two other silly items and separated from them by three dots.

Recent real examples included these gems:

• Fox News hosts wonder about 'Trouble" in Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce relationship. [This was listed under 'Sports.']

• How to watch "Basketball Wives" season 11 reunion episode for fee on VH1. (I assume this was intended to say "for free.")

And my favorite:

• Caitlin Clark reacts to Brittany Mahomes' viral post. (On a list of meaningless words, number one would have to be "viral.")

BUT BACK to Donald Trump and the upcoming election. After a Trump defeat, it might benefit us all if the United States expelled Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and the Dakotas and turned them into a separate nation in which Trump can be the king he so much wants to be.

Residents of Ohio would be encouraged to move to Trumpinsania and take Jim Jordan and J. D. Vance with them.

This would certainly go a long way toward re-uniting our country. Some day, when King Donald's rule alienates his former supporters, we might even welcome Trumpinsania back into the United States.
